Baby Lotion Recommendation for Son's Dry Skin

Hi moms. I'm looking for recommendations on which brand of baby lotion has worked best for your baby's dry skin. With the colder, drier weather my 10 month old son's skin has gotten pretty dry. After I give him a bath at night, I've been putting on lotion (mustela and johnson's brand) or Johnson's baby oil (doesn't seem to work at all) but his skin is still dry. I used Aquaphor on the really dry areas and this works ok but the problem is that you'd need to use a half the tube to moisturize all his arms and legs. So, I'm looking for some...

Child's Skin Irritation

My daughter is just potty trained (yeah!!) and has been wearing underwear exclusivly (except at night) for 2 weeks. The last several days her booty has been red and chapped looking where her underwear are. I was wondering if she could have a sensitivity to our laundry detergent just in that area? This isn't happening in the front or anywhere else, just on her lower back and cheeks where her underwear rest. Any ideas or suggestions???

Advice for "Allergic Type" Symptoms

My daughter who is now 9yrs. old has had unusual "breakouts" ever since she was about three. Her knuckles get red and itch and her hands swell, then hives spread to her elbows, feet and ankles and then as it progresses starts on her face and torso. Ive taken her to allergist who say she is allergic to foods that never cause her any reactions. The only thing that relieves the symptoms is Zyrtec. I have even taken her to a specialist who couldnt find any illness. She often gets this reaction when the weather changes from hot to cold or...

One Year Old with Milk Allergy

It has been determined that my one year old daughter has a milk allergy. Taking her off milk and putting her back on formula for a few days had cleared up her rash and diarrhea. I reintroduced the milk and everything came back. We tried the Lactaid milk to see if it was the lactose that was giving her the problem. The rash and diarrhea came back. I take her back to the pediatrician tomorrow for a follow up. I am at a loss as to what to feed my one year old. No one in my family has a milk allergy. Any suggestions on what to feed her...

Oatmeal-looking Diarrhea Smells like Rotten Eggs!

I will preface this by saying, I called my pediatrician and even they are stumped... My daughter (7 mos.) has had a cold for about a week now. Starting yesterday, she has had really bad diarrhea (blowouts) that look like grownup oatmeal and smell like rotten eggs. They are burning her skin and she screams when I wipe her. She has not been introduced to any new foods and, what's more, she really doesn't have an appetite. I'm concerned and am wondering if anyone has had the rotten egg oatmeal poop. Also, any good suggestions on diaper...

Allergic Reaction to Fabric Bandaids (Ouch) All Help Greedily Accepted!

So with the onset of the pouring rain last week I decided to make a oven dinner last week - but forgot that ovens get hot! So I burned my forearm while grabbing dinner from the oven. Here is where my stupidity comes into play. I know that I had an allergic reaction 20 years ago to the adhesive in fabric bandaids, but they were the only ones I had that were big enough to cover up the leaking burn. So I had my daughter help me put them on (meanwhile she is scolding me to NOT to use the bandages - gotta love the tweenies) Well, just...
